Despair of the Day and How Curiosity May Save You
summary
A case study of the Danish Corona Pass app explains the concrete design: a scannable QR-code passport that required login, prevented screenshots and logs users out for five minutes when tampered with, shipped in a few months, and sees wide uptake across bars, museums and transport. The leadership part lists exact practices that change outcomes: routine nonwork check-ins, deciding one despair topic and asking for help, deliberately leaving non‑problems alone, and using curiosity (ask why before fixing) to reduce churn.
